TEO MACERO / WALLY CIRILLO

EXPLORATIONS AT JAZZ COMPOSERS WORKSHOP

Description:
This CD shows why Macero's compostions are mentioned along with the works of Teddy Charles, Bill Russo, Charles Mingus, George Russell, Gunther Schuller and John Lewis, as representing a modern jazz form derived from European music and experimentation with atonality. Through the years, he has contributed his warm cool tenor to many jazz groups and concerts. He gives more than a passing example in these recordings of his familiarity with the elusive beat. But compostion has always been his main interest and, particularly, that composition which derives its vitality and improvisational quality from jazz and its structuring form 'serious' music. If we are to accept the Granville Hicks imagery. Macero's inventive mind could be said to be both an ingredient in "the musical melting pot of America, "and an important part of the flame which serves as a catalyst. Teo was one of the original members of the Jazz Composers Workshop, a company of whom he was engaged in their search for musical truth.
